Repair Raffle

Hello Analog Community!

I guess everyone has noticed the sharp price increase in the most wanted film cameras. The rising global demand doesn't just affect the likes of Hasselblad XPAN, Contax T3 or Olympus Mju II, as the bigger trend seems to be that almost all film cameras have doubled their price in five years.

For the last fifteen years it was, in many cases, almost cheaper to buy a working camera to replace your broken one, than to fix it. However, we cannot keep replacing cameras forever. We need to keep film cameras up and running for as long as possible and yes, also preferably get new ones into the market. That is why we are mapping out the best repair resources available worldwide to direct people to send their cameras to be repaired, or to donate their old cameras to be used as spare parts.

To do this, we need the community’s help to expand on the results of the #saveanalogcameras survey’s repair section. Jordan summarized our results from 7,500 people in an article here and we created the following form based on those findings.

Please select the shop's name from the offered suggestions, if available.
